This is a fast and easy prep for beginners to pressure canning.

Pressure can pints for 20 minutes and quarts for 25 minutes (if using bones ONLY, if adding in vegetables it becomes a combination recipe) at 10 pounds of pressure if you're 1,000 feet or below sea level, if 1,001 feet above sea level use 15 pounds of pressure.

    Home-canned bone broth is one of the most versatile staples you can have on hand. How do you use bone broth?
  • What i do to save space is to make the broth and then to simmer it down (reducing) it for about 80%. then you will end up with an extremely concentrated thick broth. I can them in small jelly jars. With one small can of the highly concentrated thick broth jelly i can make a big pot of soup.

    I come from a immigrant family. The idea of homesteading has always intrigued and fascinated me, but in a fantastical way where I thought I’d never be able to do it / it would be so hard to start all on my own from scratch and no mentors… but this video was so good and detailed that it felt like I was learning from generations before me. You are an absolute angel. I’m far from starting our own honestead, but it is my dream, and I hope to get there. (commenting from my husband’s account lol)

    Chop sticks are great for applying the regulator weight and removing it. No need for mitts or risk of steam burns. Just run them through the holes in the weight.

    This was exactly what I was looking for! I have been making my own chicken bone broth for years and usually freeze it or freeze dry it. I've got 10 pints in my All American Canner right now and the process could not have been easier thanks to your clear instructions in this video. This will definitely add to my storage options for broth. Thanks so much!
  • @kimwalders8781
    I’ve read on another broth video . A statement was made to put Saran wrap over the top of your broth as its in fridge cooling down . When cooled it lifts off with the Saran Wrap. Tried this works great.
  • I’ve been canning for about 6 years now. I always use every safe step. I cringe every time I hear someone skipping a step because of ‘inconvenience’. I’ve even heard of someone turning their jars up side down and then waiting for it to ‘pop’. Thank you for this video. I’m anxious for summer to start up again so I can get my canning on

    I just found a copy of your first book! I had it shipped from Seattle. To my surprise…. It’s a signed copy!!!!!!!!!!
  • @amberfrank109
    Just purchased the lids for your recommended website. Definitely a good deal even with shipping. Got a 10% coupon for first time order :) Excited to can my broth. I have always put it in the freezer. Thanks for the great tutorial.
  • @amariahg5450
    I just cooked down 2 rotisserie carcasses into a gallon of good bone broth, it's cooling in the fridge overnight and tomorrow it'll be canned! We use a ton of broth/stock at my house - soups, pot pie, drinking when sick, etc. It's nice to know exactly what's in my homemade stuff!
  • I am in the process of making my 1st bone broth, and then will can it tomorrow afternoon. This video is awesome, y'all are awesome. I'll watch it again tomorrow before canning. I'm very nervous about this process as I've only done jelly, and that was 20+ years ago. I'm old and have a learning disability which complicates my life. But, I'M GONNA DO THIS! Thx for y'all videos. Blessings, julie
  • God bless you! Just pure precise instructions. I’m making chicken broth today. It’s my very first time canning. You’re just what I needed. ❤️❤️
  • Buying lids in bulk!! What a brilliant idea! I will definitely be doing that this year.
  • @NaeNaeW
    I need a pressure canner. I just have a regular canner. I am so thankful my grandma taught me how to can!❤ Great tutorial on how to can broth!!! 💟
  • I am so excited to have found your channel! My girls and I are just starting our canning and homesteading journey. I have some beef bone broth slow cooking in our instant pot now.
  • @sabrinadaisybess
    I love leaving the fat in the broth Connor it's solidified after it cools. Then I just take it off when I'm ready to use it IF I don't need it😊 A clean the rims of the jars really well A dry paper towels sprayed with vinegar.
  • @pt8019
    Thank you Melissa for sharing all your knowledge. I am right now pressure canning for the first time and bone broth is what I am starting with. My jiggler is just now starting to make noise and I can honestly say....my heart is racing. :) If this works I have apples and stew waiting to be next. Thank you again for sharing. I so enjoy watching and learning from you.
  • @Mrbfgray
    Only experienced canning as a kid with mom, good memories and starting point but need to learn all the particulars, I did the dumb stuff in the kitchen as a kid. As older adult with modest nascent 'food forest' yard, it always seemed beyond my time constraints but I'm getting there. :D Great stuff. I dehydrate but most dried fruit doesn't get to winter bc I have a weakness for it and devour a quart in an evening if I get started. HA!
  • @ashleybaker4212
    Wow the store you buy your bulk lids for is a hour from where I live. I’m so glad I’ve found your channel. After this corona virus pandemic is over I would like to buy your book. I have a family of 5 and can never tell how many plants I need. I started seed starting my seeds last winter with heirloom seeds so I can seed save. I want to not rely on grocery store poisoned food. I have been canning for 4 years now and always spend a fortune on lids.
  • Funny I should see this video as I'm doing this now as well. Have 20 pints done, on another 10 now. Lol...have to laugh cause I had to send my husband to the store earlier for more lids...I'll check out the link on the lids.
